Maksim Chmerkovskiy: I'm Probably Not Returning to 'Dancing with the Stars'

By

ET caught up with Dancing with the Stars' big winners Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy Tuesday night in Los Angeles, where dancing pro Maksim dished that he probably won't be returning to the hit ABC show.

"I don't think so," a clearly exhausted Maks told ET bluntly when asked if he would be returning next season. "This is exhausting. It has nothing to do with money. The first thing that I did after hugging her [Meryl] ... was come up to Derek [Hough] and I was like, 'Dude, I don't how you do it.' He did it five times. I have no idea."
